I recently had the priviledge of working on a design project in Naples, Florida. It was wonderful to spend a week away from my normal surroundings and to find inspiration of a whole different kind. I shopped for my client in a beautiful store called Clive Daniels. If you ever find yourself in the Naples area you should pay them a visit, I guarentee you, you will not be disappointed.

One thing that struck me while there was that the approach to design and decorating is way more layed back. It has a casual, holiday feel to it that caters to a more relaxed life style. I think it is an approach anyone can apply in one or more rooms of their house. I, for one, plan on incorporating some of those elements into my new home. I mean, anything to make it feel like vacation right?
